Page 2 of 8
Figure 1. Project Site
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Retail/Office and
Automotive and is zoned C-2 (General Commercial). The C-2 zoning designation
allows for a number of conditionally permitted uses, including automobile/vehicle sales
and service. The site is surrounded by General Comme rcial uses to the north and west.
The parcel to the west of the project site is occupied by Dublin Nissan and the parcels
to the north are occupied by offices, retail, and equipment rental uses.
The eastern parcel of the subject Project was previously a Hyundai automobile
dealership and currently has a vacant 2,480 square foot building, planned for demolition
as part of this project. The western parcel was previously occupied by Office Depot.
Current Request
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Site Development Review (SDR) Permit to
complete a façade remodel and construction of a 3,560 square foot addition to infill the
existing truck dock area at the northwest corner of the existing 20,120 square foot
building (creating a 23,680 square foot building), formerly occupied by Office Depot.
The project also includes the demolition of a vacant 2,480 square foot building on the
eastern parcel (formerly used for automotive sales), and the addition of landscaping and
related site improvements. The Applicant is also requesting approval of a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) to operate an automobile sales and service facility on the subject
site.
ANALYSIS
Site Development Review
Page 3 of 8
The Zoning Ordinance requires a Site Development Review Permit for façade rem odels
and for additions to buildings that are 1,000 square feet or more and visible from the
street in the Commercial Zoning Districts. Approval of the Permit is subject to findings
related to compliance with General Plan policies, impacts to general safe ty and welfare,
site layout, views, topography, architectural considerations and landscape
considerations as shown in the draft Resolution included as Attachment 1. Please refer
to Attachment 2 for the project plans.
Site Layout
The proposed site layout shows the 23,680 square foot automobile sales and service
building located on the western parcel of the site, and parking stalls generally located on
the eastern parcel for sales car inventory. A 2,480 square foot building is located on the
eastern parcel which was a part of the previous Hyundai car dealership and will be
removed as part of this project. The proposal includes related improvements including
landscaping and a new trash enclosure. The proposed site plan is shown in Figure 2
below.
Figure 2. Proposed Site Plan
The applicant proposes to construct a 3,560 square foot addition to the existi ng building
to create a total of 23,680 square feet. The proposed addition is located at the
northwest corner of the building and will enclose the existin g truck dock area to provide
additional room for the parts and car wash areas.
A new pedestrian access will be provided from Dublin Court to the building. There will
Page 4 of 8
be 3 driveways into the site where the two western driveways will allow for customers to
enter and exit for vehicle purchase or car service, and the eastern driveway will mainly
be for the car inventory to enter and exit. The two driveways on the western side of the
parcel are existing. The driveway to the very east of the site will be clo sed. One new
driveway cut is proposed towards the middle of the site to be the access point for the
inventory stalls. The existing parking lot will be reconfigured. Customer p arking stalls
will be located around the building and middle drive aisles, whic h will include stalls for
disabled accessible and standard parking. The remainder of the eastern parking stalls
will mainly be used for car inventory.
The building entrance faces east towards Dougherty Road and the main parking lot.
The showroom entry is located in the southeast corner of the building along with the
service staging area also located on the east side. The indoor display area will be
located along the entrance and southern side of the building which will face I -580.
There is a 3,440 square foot outdoor car display area located to the south and
southeast area of the building. There is a small vehicle display pad located along the
frontage of Dublin Court in the middle of two drive aisles.
The car inventory area has existing light structures which will remain but the lights will
be replaced with updated LED light fixtures. Much of the exterior showroom area in the
front glass showroom will be lit by the showroom glass. Additional building mounted
security lighting will be placed around the exterior of the building.
The trash enclosure is located on the northwest corner of the site near the northwestern
driveway entrance. It will consist of a CMU wall with a cement plaster finish which will
match the color of the building and the gate will be made of steel.
The eastern parcel includes an existing 30” tall block column and steel chain security
fencing along the frontage. The fencing will be extended to the remainder of the project
site to the west and the steel chains will be upda ted with stainless steel cables.
The proposed site plan, floor plan, elevations, and landscape plans are shown in the
Project Plans (Attachment 2).
Parking Stalls
The Applicant proposes to provide a total of 58 parking stalls for customers and
employees which is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance requirement, as shown in
Table 1 below. The site will also include 110 car inventory stalls.

Total 58
There are 3 spots being provided for bicycle parking and a dedicated area for bike
lockers will be provided within the building.
Architecture
The building encompasses the Volvo prototype design concept which includes a
interface of translucent glass, alucobond panels, cement panels, and a simulated wood
accent feature at the entry. The wood accent highlights the main entry into the
showroom which also features wood material in the interior. The main entry includes a
wooden contemporary accent canopy and p rojects out about 5 feet from the building to
allow for a prominent entrance. The service entry canopy area will extend about 24 feet
past the outside of the walls. The overall concept is contemporary and offers a v ariety
of building materials. Staff worked with the applicant to further articulate the building.
However, the nature of the existing concrete tilt-up building made it cost prohibitive for
the applicant to provide further articulation.
The single-story building is 24 feet in height and includes hi gh ceilings in the showroom
to display the cars. The exterior building shell materials in the office and sales display
include the alucobond finishes and the exterior material transitions into cement plaster
in the service area and storage areas, which are on the west, north and northeast sides
of the building. The alucobond metal panel siding wraps on both ends of the western
elevation in the areas where the building is visible and not covered by existing trees.
Figure 2. Perspectives
Page 6 of 8
Colors are the typical Volvo silver/gray to match the natural aluminum of the alucobond
and storefront glazing system. There are certain panels that consist of blue illuminated
opaque glass or blue cement plaster to add an accent color to the building. A color and
material palette has been provided that illustrates the variety of colors and textures for
the building. This materials board will be presented at the Planning Commission
meeting for review and consideration.
Floor Plan
The proposed building consists of a 3,666 square foot indoor display area, 3,152 square
foot office area, 13,180 square foot car repair area and 3,682 square foot parts storage
area. The service and car repair area also includes a car wash.
Landscaping
The landscaping has been designed to be compatible with the existing parking areas
and building. The landscaping will help update the edge of the property and enhance
the aesthetics and design of the building. The streetscape planting will include low,
drought-resistant shrubs and groundcover to maintain visibility into the dealership from
Dublin Court. 17 trees will be removed from the 39 existing trees on the site due to poor
health and/or visibility issues. 22 trees will remain on the site and 19 new trees are
proposed to be added to the project to enhance the Dublin Court street frontage,
including street trees. None of the trees that are proposed for removal are considered
to be Heritage Trees as defined by DMC 5.60. The new trees will include a variety of
24” box trees.
Planting along the eastern and western facades is also lower to allow visibility to the
showroom floor but still break up the concrete paving and soften up the building edges.
Some of the existing plant materials will be reused.
A resolution approving the Site Plan Review Permit for the façade remodel, addition of
3,560 square feet, and demolition of a 2,480 square foot existing building is included as
Attachment 1, with the project plans attached as Attachment 2.
Conditional Use Permit
Page 7 of 8
The Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit to operate an
Automobile/Vehicle Sales and Service facility located in the General Commercial Zoning
district. The Conditional Use Permit is required to ensure compatibility with surrounding
land uses.
The proposed automobile sales and service facility is adjacent to a car dealership
located to the west side of the Project site, along with commercial uses to the north.
There is a limited potential for impacts to the surrounding land uses.
The service entry is located on the east side of the building with the exit on the north to
allow for cars to enter from Dublin Court and go straight to the service area with little
interruption to the site or roadway network. All service work will be done indoors and will
not be visible to the public.
The sales portion of the dealership is anticipated to be open seven days a week from
8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. The service department is anticipated to
operate Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Conditions of Approval have been included in the Conditional Use Permit to ensure that
the operation of this facility is compatible with the surrounding area (Attachment 3).
These conditions relate to the hours of operation, noise, clean-up, vehicle deliveries,
vehicle displays, service and repair work, and car washing.
A resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit to operate an automobile/vehicle
sales and service facility (Volvo Car Dealership) at 6430 and 6440 Dublin Court is
included as Attachment 3.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State Guidelines
and City Environmental Regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and when applicable, environmental documents prepared. Staff
is recommending that the Planning Commission find this project exempt from CEQA
pursuant to Section 15301(e)(2) (Existing Facilities) because, 1) the proj ect is an
addition to an existing structure and the addition is less than 10,000 square feet in size;
2) the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available; and 3)
the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE:
The project site has a current General Plan land use designation of Retail/Office and
Automotive and consistent C-2 (General Commercial) zoning. The project will
contribute to the surrounding neighborhood allowing for automobile/vehicle sales and
service. The proposed project is consistent with the land use designation and zoning,
Page 8 of 8
which allows for automobile/vehicle sales and service with the approval of a Conditional
Use Permit.
The proposed project has been reviewed for conformance with the Community Design
and Sustainability Element of the General Plan. The project has been designed to be
compatible with adjacent and surrounding development. Pedestrian circulation has
previously been linked together with sidewalks and public and private streets. In
general, the proposed project furthers the goals of the Community Design and
Sustainability Element of the General Plan by providing a high quality of life and
preserving resources and opportunities for future generations.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES:
The Building Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Department, and Dublin
San Ramon Services District have reviewed the project and provided Conditions of
Approval included in the attached Resolutions pertaining to the Site Development
Review and Conditional Use Permit (Attachments 1 and 3) where appropriate to ensure
that the project is established in compliance with all local ordinances and regulations.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH
In accordance with the City’s policy, the Applicant installed a Planning Application
Notice Sign along the project frontage. The sign includes details about the project and
how to find out more information. The project is also included on the City’s Project
Development Website.
